Most excellent video as well as others.Former Apartment maintenance tech my self over 20 years I just had to get out,nice looking back watching your various task but I do not miss the on call side of it no matter how much pay is involved.
If you're watching this video you're probably like me and have just paid $200 for a piece of s***! I thought this was going to be a repair instead of replace, s***! There goes another 200??? I'm going to buy new
That's ridicules after only 5 yrs you have to replace all that just for a seal leak. I just replaced my whirlpool stack I've had since 1997 and that's just cause it was old and small. Thanks for the video. No problems with my GE (it's only 6 months old), just interesting to watch and learn. You never know.
I have one of these with the model number GTUP270EM3WW. When I type it into the GE's website I don't see a full tub assembly for my unit. Am I missing something? Do you know if this assembly for the washer "3WW" would work for the unit I have?
We just tried to replace the seal but just as you said below, we could not separate the basket from the tub. We tried wood and a sledge hammer too with no luck. I am going to keep trying and maybe GE will send me an award if I can do it :)
@@AlphaPiggy No, its impossible. Even the GE tech said its impossible yet they still sell the damn spanner wrench which is worthless. I guess since they realized it cannot be fixed, why not make more money selling the worthless wrench LOL
Would anyone happen to know if WH45X24614 will work for GTUP270EM4WW model? Model looks very similar to the one in video, but I have not found a model compatibility list on any site, including GE's. Hoping to confirm, since I need to remove a doorframe and partial wall if I replace the entire machine.
Yeah buddy!! Nice work. I've done about half a dozen of these already this year. I have them in my studio apartments. I still haven't messed with my GoPro yet, but definitely going to get that thing some action soon so I can stop using my cell phone. Keep the vids coming 👍
I have the same unit. My problem is it starts the spin or agitation cycle and immediately quits and system shuts down and only the lid locked led remains. Could this be the tac sensor? The part that regulates the speed of the motor?
My tub of ge washer won't spin and drain when I move to spin and drain and after wash it automatic shutoff and I see a blinking light on panel what it means and I hear 3 clicks when start no move drum yet. what is the cause?
No I don't. You will have to match up with your model. This used to be a fairly easy part to get but search your model with the keywords 'tub and transmission'
How much does it cost to replace the tub? I’m maintenance tech in a 700 unit resort, we throw away dozens of these stack wash&dryer a year, just because owners don’t want to replace it.
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro i managed to remove the tub out and trying to disassemble the tub. I think the problem is the seal between the shaft and tub, might need to replace the bearing as well
@@lamhoangkiet did you ever manage to get your tub apart and check the seal? I'm at that step right now and having a difficult time figuring out how to get the inner tub free from the outer one so I can inspect the seal
@@AK_Brickster hi Jordan, yes I managed to took it apart but damaging the shaft so I ended up getting new shaft for 100 bucks. Replaced the washer and its been running strong since
So I just bought this same exact model. I was very surprised to see ur video and how you talked about all these same models have the same problem. Well guess what ? My washer is leaking also. And my tub is a little more loose than I have noticed on a different washer. It seems like it is, I could be wrong tho. I guess I'm looking to see if my problem is the same as in this video. So how would I notice or inspect my unit so that I could diagnose my unit?? Any tips that I could do so that I don't have to find a repair person. Also I was told this model was from 2018. That's was another lie told by the seller of this. I mean come on.
If you can get the front panel off (assuming it’s a similar model) look towards the middle of the drum and look for rust/water marks. If it’s just banging around it could be an uneven load or snapped band/spring. Best thing to do without doing anything technical is to run an empty load and see if you have the same problem
My old boss complained about that because we ordered that 20 dollar basket and it came in. I tried to remove the transmission from the basket to replace the seal, so far as to placing it on wood and using a sledge hammer to displace it from the cheap plastic tub. No luck, We called a GE technician in to teach us how and he said 'no' I can't even do that. So, can it be done? Maybe, I haven't been able to or know anyone else thats been able to swap out a basket (on this particular model that is)
Hi I'm watching your advertisement on stackable and the machine doesn't wash but it does fill up and the water does goes out but don't it just won't wash
Ours was leaking but it wasn't what we thought... The spout where the water fills the tub was clogged with calcium and deflecting water out of the tub, so it was being sprayed on the outside of the tub causing it to run down and create a puddle on our floor towards the back.. My step son found the problem and cleaned the calcium deposit off now the washer works fine.
From mounting the drain pump under the suspension, to the balancing system destroying the tub to the lack of guards and covers on belt and motor to the drum sitting too low causing clothes to fall out drum during cycle to this notorious leak, these things rightfully so are a total pile of sh!t!!! My property has been swapping these out for whirlpool for a couple years for good reason.
100 percent junk I have the whirlpool one and 2 years ago I did this swap. Now it’s leaking again. My grandma had a different washing in her house for over 20 years and it still works no problem. This one has a problem every 2 years.
You would be leaving my house unpaid. The tub should not have a space like that shown upon completing the task. If it's not done right , with the right parts, it should not be done at all. Wasted my time!
Most people wouldn’t opt to pay for this repair. Tub and transmission are$500-700, add in another $300 or so for labor and you have a new washer or used one with a warranty. So, not sure why you are so upset. This is just a video of myself making a repair, not diy advice, or anything like that.

Thanks fo sharing. I never knew you could get the whole tub, trans and motor assy. Very well explained and shot video.
It’s hard to find but they used to be in stock all the time

Hi what is the the part numbers for the tub / transimition

right on. let us know if you get it :)
I also couldn't. And I came up with some *very* powerful ways to apply force between the two baskets with clamps, but to no avail.
Did you ever separate it?
@@AlphaPiggy No, its impossible. Even the GE tech said its impossible yet they still sell the damn spanner wrench which is worthless. I guess since they realized it cannot be fixed, why not make more money selling the worthless wrench LOL
@paularnold5450 damn its just i found 1 of these for free and i wanted to separate the tubs for cleaning cause its dirty in between
Hello can you send me the part number for the tub and transmission please. Also where can I order them?
👍 great job thanks I needed that.
Thank you Dave!!
What the part number for the tub motor assembly ?
The counter balancing rod don’t need height adjustment?
Thank you sir
Welcome
great video! can you supply a link to the tub with full assembly ?

Thanks man! Ya we’ve had these damn tubs on order for three months and ONE came in only :( so frustrating as they are leaking like crazy
I have 4 y/o GE washer and just found out it’s grinds and leaks just from underneath, what should I do to fix it please advise.
You are the man. I was trying to play this game from the rear of the machine 🙄
I have the same unit. My problem is it starts the spin or agitation cycle and immediately quits and system shuts down and only the lid locked led remains. Could this be the tac sensor? The part that regulates the speed of the motor?
I would think it would throw an error code.
Hello! We have the same problem with our GE GUAP270EM1WW washer leaking from bottom.
Where can we buy the replacement washer drum?
You are better off getting a new one due to how expensive it cost
My tub of ge washer won't spin and drain when I move to spin and drain and after wash it automatic shutoff and I see a blinking light on panel what it means and I hear 3 clicks when start no move drum yet. what is the cause?
Need to check which error it’s in. Most likely lid switch
good job, may I ask how much the whole assamble parts? looks like $$$$$
Repairs are usually $150-300 labor depending on area and who you hire
Do you know the part number for the tub complete
No I don't. You will have to match up with your model. This used to be a fairly easy part to get but search your model with the keywords 'tub and transmission'
the tub assembly I priced was between 550 and $700. seems like repairing might not be cost effective.
I was about to ask this question
I'm just looking at getting another "new used" set, rather than pony up $500+ for a new tub assembly.
Crazy
How much does it cost to replace the tub? I’m maintenance tech in a 700 unit resort, we throw away dozens of these stack wash&dryer a year, just because owners don’t want to replace it.
hey, it's about half the cost of a new unit. Throw in labor in it's barely cheaper :)
No worth it scrap it you will have more problems
Thanks for the content. We have the exact model and same problem. Is there any way we can fix the tub without replacing it?
If you can find where it’s cracked some JB weld might work temporarily

The tub is what cracks - to my knowledge, this is the only way they sell it in THIS ge model
Can you please let me know the website or the part number so i could order one. I try to replace the Seal but it do not come out. Thanks
The seal at the transmission? I got this directly from GEs website
Yes send me that part number for me two please

lets get to it 👍😎
🛠🛠🛠
Why didn't you just replace the tub seal?
Because the tub itself cracks it’s not the seal
Are you not able to just take the basket out and replace the inner seal? The seal is about $20 and the tub assy is over $500.

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro I would love to know if it's possible because I swear if I just bought all this stuff for no reason I'm gonna be pissed
Yeah that inner nut we also bought the special wrench and could not get it off...
Question do you know the part number for the seal?
@@paull6526 A 1 11/16" deep socket on an impact air tool will take it off. Bear in mind that the threads are reversed.
Great video but that's to much darn work
Hi I'm watching your advertisement on stackable and the machine doesn't wash but it does fill up and the water does goes out but don't it just won't wash
Agitation issue?

They didn't showed us how it turn out
For a repair like like most home owners will not pay to get it repaired
Wouldn't the cost of that part be more then the machine is worth
Not necessarily. About half the cost or less
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro from where

the whirlpool and frigidaire ones are pretty much identical to these. sometimes same exact parts. all of these "laundry centers" are crappy
100 percent junk

It’s not a home repair clearly said it’s an appliance flip.
Too much of a pain in the ass. Just buy a new one.
